Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course surveys international monetary and financial law, including the law of the International Monetary Fund, international rule-making for finance/financial regulation and sanctions.

Assessment and permitted materials

Class Participation: 40%, and 2 Reflection Papers 60% of the final grade. There is no exam.

To stimulate discussion, participants will write two response papers concerning two cases over the course of the semester. A response paper can consist of any or all of critique, summary, elaboration, expressions of disagreement or puzzlement, and so on – as long as it is directed to the case for the next class.

Response papers should be 1000 words long and need to be uploaded via Moodle 48 hours prior to the relevant class. They need to include the participant’s name, email address and word count.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Please come to class prepared. I will assume that you have done the assigned reading for each class.

No more than two classes may be missed.

Examination topics

No final exam.

A response paper can consist of any or all of critique, summary, elaboration, expressions of disagreement or puzzlement, and so on – as long as it is directed to the case for the seminar concerned.
